PGA REACH Southern Texas and Charlie Epps raise $88,000 to Continue Impacting Lives Through Golf!

Spring, TX – On September 23rd, PGA REACH Southern Texas, in collaboration with PGA Life Member Charlie Epps, proudly hosted the 4th Annual Golf Club of Houston Invitational, raising a groundbreaking $88,000 to benefit the Charlie Epps Scholarship and the STPGA Junior Golf Program. This year's event not only doubled the amount raised in 2023 but also set a new benchmark for future fundraising efforts.

This year’s event featured over 115 players with each group featuring a PGA of America Member, Touring Professional, or a close friend of Charlie Epps. The goal since the inception of this event is simple: to raise funds for the Charlie Epps Scholarship, which supports young golfers with academic excellence and financial need, and the STPGA Junior Golf program.

Now in its fourth year, the tournament continues to grow, thanks to the Presenting Partners: Doggett, Insperity, Lexus, and Lindsayca. The event’s success was also made possible through the outstanding efforts of Adam Lockwood, PGA Director of Golf at the Golf Club of Houston, as well as the dedicated staff, and the members of the club, all of whom played an integral role in ensuring the event’s smooth execution.



The Pro-Am tournament saw significant backing from sponsors, including Chicago Title, Danny Levitt, Enerflex, Gordon Johnson, Insperity Invitational, Jimmy Johnson, Steven J. Lindley, Texas Farm Bureau Insurance, The Wylie Family, and Zedcor. Their generosity was crucial to the event's success.

“We are beyond thankful to everyone who supported this year’s event,” stated Thomas Hutton, STPGA Executive Director. “The funds raised will create life-changing opportunities for young golfers, and we’re proud to see this tournament grow each year, both in honor of Charlie Epps and in support of junior golf.”
